Gender-Integrated Sexual Assault Support Groups: A Practical Guide for Support Group Facilitators, Therapists, and Decision-Makers

Sexual assault survivors derive many benefits from participating in support groups. Unfortunately, current widespread practices of holding only single-gender support groups deprive many transgender, non-binary, and male survivors of opportunities to benefit from these core services. FORGE surveyed and interviewed dozens of facilitators to identify concerns about all-gender groups and, most importantly, how experienced facilitators have effectively resolved them. This reader-friendly guide collects and organizes this invaluable expertise so that more advocates can be part of the solution, extending support group services to many more survivors.
